John 13 "The Uttermost"

John 13 - Brandon Hatmaker - “The Uttermost”

“It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love… so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.” –John 13:1,4-5

Scripture tells us that one of the ways Jesus showed the “full extent” of his love was by washing their feet. The Greek says he loved them to the “utter most” it was “the point aimed at as a limit.”

He washed their feet. Then He gave up His life.

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” – Mark 10:45

"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." - John 15:13
